I'll be teaching a 3-Day Portrait Painting Workshop in Tryon, NC, April 20-22. The class will take place at our Skyuka Fine Art gallery from 9-4 each day.

Artists will work from life over the weekend to grasp the fundamentals of portraiture. This workshop is open to all media, but oil will be emphasized. Class size is limited to 12, and the cost of the workshop is $300.

The artists will concentrate on painting the portrait from live models. There will be lectures and demos by me, and group 'critiques' (mostly just putting the paintings along the wall and having each artist say 'how it's going').
